Jemma Hamilton-Fletcher

Jemma Hamilton-Fletcher offers support for people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and difficulties around food and body image. She provides a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk through what is holding them back. Jemma understands how overwhelming self-criticism, perfectionism and burnout can feel, and she aims to help people find more ease day to day.

Jemma is autistic and has ADHD, and she uses that lived experience to notice patterns and sensory overwhelm. This perspective shapes how she listens and responds, helping clients feel understood and accepted. Her approach is practical and warm, not rushed or prescriptive.

Sessions draw on client-centred ways of working and mindfulness techniques. Jemma often offers practical exercises, brief reflections and some psychoeducation when it helps make sense of difficult feelings. Creative tools are used at times to offer new perspectives and make sessions feel manageable.

She works with adults dealing with life changes, relationship strain, grief, trauma and career stress, among other concerns. Jemma encourages people to put their own needs alongside others and to notice small shifts that build confidence and calm.

Jemma usually suggests an initial period of 3 to 6 months to create consistency, though this can be adjusted to fit a person’s situation. She encourages clients to set aside a little time before and after sessions to prepare and reflect, which many find helps make the work more effective.

Client-centred and Mindfulness Approaches Online

Jemma draws primarily on client-centred work and mindfulness therapy. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's priorities, helping them to decide what changes matter most and at what pace. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts and bodily feelings, which can help with anxiety, stress and overwhelming self-criticism.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jemma will work with the person to try out methods, notice what helps and adjust the plan. The aim is always to match techniques to a person's needs, goals and preferences rather than to push a fixed programme.
